This could easily be a vegetarian recipe by omitting the chicken and adding beans. We kicked up the vegetable content by adding squash.

This recipe was easy and fairly tasty, but I probably wouldn't rush to make it again. I found that the cooking time was a good 15-20 mins longer than the recipe says.
